In late May of 2005, our dear little Cody was diagnosed with "infantile spasms" - a catastrophic epileptic syndrome that typically strikes babies between 4-7 months. He was given a 95% chance of retardation.  He averaged 400 seizures a day for 8 months.  Two days after Christmas of 2005, he became seizure free for 2 months.  The seizures came back.  Now Cody is 4 years old and we've just now (after 4 years of testing) learned why he has uncontrolled seizures, gastro issues, and many more health issues:  a muscle biopsy revealed he has mitochondrial disease.  

This site is devoted to Cody and his heroic battle against this horrible syndrome. Will you join us in prayer for our little guy? He's the light of our lives and the most brave person we know. We live a chaotic, often desperate existence these days - but we know that if ANYONE can beat the odds, Cody CAN! Thanks for caring enough to come here and read this. We treasure the support, care and prayers of hundreds of people who stand shoulder to shoulder with us in this fight. We’d love to hear from you – click on “contact us” to send us an email.

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am
doing a NEW thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland"
says the Lord. Isaiah 43:18-19

With love and profound thanks,
Shawna, Don, Casey and most of all Cody Graves
